Steel-Watercolor-Triangle-Ring, 1993 Steel, 2103 x 420 x 340 cm Köln, Museum Ludwig, Inv.-Nr. ML/SK 5102, Zugang 06.10.1993 HideMuseum LudwigKöln, Heinrich-Böll-Platz On 5 February 1976, husband and wife collectors Irene and Peter Ludwig donated 350 modern artworks from their collection to the city of Cologne and thus laid the foundations for the Museum Ludwig, which was to be a home for art made after 1900. 1986 saw the opening of the ‘twin museum’, which encompassed both the Wallraf-Richartz Museum and the Museum Ludwig, but already by 1994 it was decided to physically separate the two. Apart from the most extensive collection of American Pop Art outside of the USA, the Ludwigs’ donation meant that the museum received absolutely top quality works by the Russian avant-garde from the period between 1905 and 1935. In 1994 came 90 works from their Picasso holdings, followed by 774 more in 2001, meaning that the Museum Ludwig now has the third largest Picasso collection worldwide, only after Barcelona and Paris. Today the Ludwig Collection covers the major approaches in twentieth century and contemporary art. The basis of the Ludwig Collection was unwittingly created by the Cologne lawyer Dr Josef Haubrich. In 1946 he entrusted the city with his important collection of works by the Expressionists and other representatives of 'classic' modernism. This donation was later transferred to the holdings of the Museum Ludwig. Since 2000, the Museum Ludwig has been notably involved in collecting and presenting technical media in the contemporary art context. Since 2001 the collection has expanded in the field of contemporary art by the inclusion of key works and integral groups of pieces, and today ranks with its almost 60,580 works among the leading museums for modern and contemporary art in Europe. http://www.museum-ludwig.de Donation Moderne Stadt, Gesellschaft zur Förderung des Städtebaues und der Gemeindeentwicklung GmbH 1993 currently not shown in the gallery

CommentaryDie riesige, rot gefasste Stahlkonstruktion ist ein Monument der Äquilibristik. Ihm ist ein zirzensich-artistisches Moment eigen, lässt doch der hohe Mast den Balanceakt in einer Höhe von etwa 20 Metern stattfinden. Trotz dieses gefährlich anmutenden Spiels in luftiger Höhe geht von der Plastik Ruhe aus, denn die sie konstituierenden Antagonismen Gleichgewicht und Ungleichgewicht, Konzentration und Expansion zwingen sich gegenseitig zur Inaktivität. Ein schlankes Rohr hebt diverse stereometrische Körper in die Höhe. Weitere Elemente lehnen unten, als warteten sie darauf, in die Höhe befördert zu werden. Das Trägerrohr winkelt sich an seinem oberen Ende zu einem liegenden Dreieck. Es bildet eine Art Plateau für die außerordentlich labile Konfiguration die seine Eckpunkte besetzt: ein schmaler Bandeisen-Reifen, ein kurzes Walzenstück und eine treppenartige, von einer langen, dünnen, diagonal in den Raum stoßenden Stange begleitete Konstruktion. Diese feingliedrigen Elemente halten gemeinsam ein mächtiges gleichseitiges, dreidimensionales Dreieck im Gleichgewicht, indem sie jeweils eine seiner Ecken stützen. Das voluminöse Dreieck wiederum lässt die Bewegungen seiner "Stützen" zur Ruhe kommen, so dass sich die gesamte Konfiguration im Zustand eines labilen Gleichgewichts befindet.
